What Readers Loved 

In a part of the world with seemingly endless resort options, what makes a hotel stand out from the crowd? According to our readers described the winning property, Tokoriki Island Resort, by saying, “This place created such a feeling of family and comfort, I actually cried when we had to leave.” (They weren’t the only reader who said they cried upon departure.)

One thing makes Tokoriki Island Resort different from the rest of the winners on this list: it’s adults-only. The resort prides itself on creating a romantic atmosphere, with things like couples spa treatments, in-villa floating breakfast, and a private island picnic. “​​Tokoriki was the ideal location for our honeymoon,” one reader wrote. “We will be back for our anniversary soon!” Other offerings include snorkeling and scuba diving, basket weaving, traditional kava ceremonies (the national drink of Fiji), and various guided excursions, such as a tour of the island where the movie “Cast Away” was filmed. But luckily, you can also experience all of the remoteness and seclusion of the movie without stepping away from the beachfront infinity pool.

General Manager, Robert Ring says “This award is a testament to our incredible team of which many have called the resort their home for over 29 years. It’s the care and passion that they have for our guests that is so special and it’s no wonder our guests return year after year and some up to 3 times a year! We would like to thank our incredible Tokoriki Team, Travel Partners and all of our wonderful guests who not only choose to stay with us but also took the time to vote for us as their favourite Resort! ⁠Vinaka vakalevu.

Upon receiving this wonderful achievement, Tokoriki’s owner Mr. Andrew Turnbull thanked all of the Tokoriki team for their dedication & loyalty and invited all guests at the resort for drinks to help celebrate this exciting achievement, followed by a Kava Ceremony.
